9 Months Old!

Our little Mya is growing up so quickly! She is already 9 months old, and she just went for her 9-month checkup last Thursday. She is 29 1/2 inches long (90th percentile for her age), and 18 pounds 12 ounces (65th percentile for her age). She is growing very quickly, and is really starting to move around a lot these days.

Now, we have to really listen for her in the mornings when she wakes up. She has started just waking up and sitting in her crib to talk to her bear and blanket. All you hear sometimes is "ba ba ba" and then a giggle. Its very cute, but I'm starting to think she is plotting with her bear and blankie on just how exactly she is going to get out of that crib.

She is still not "crawling" in the traditional sense, but shuffling herself around. She gets to where she wants to go, but she hasn't quite mastered the art of crawling just yet. She is however still pulling herself up to stand on a regular basis. One of these days, she will just figure out how to put one foot in front of the other, and then we're really in for some trouble!

Other than that, not much else to report. Mya is doing great with her finger foods and still loves her "Yo Gabba Gabba" and Elmo. She gets so excited for both of them! And now, unfortunately, Phil and I find ourselves constantly singing those Yo Gabba Gabba songs. "Don't Bite your Friends," "I like Bugs," and "Don't Give Up" happen to be some of our favorites so far. All of you parents know exactly what I'm talking about.

Anyways - more to come as it happens. Love to everyone. Enjoy the latest video of Mya and Chloe together... perhaps the only reason Chloe now likes her is because she constantly smells of food. Hmmmm...

Love,
Lauren, Philip, Mya and Chloe xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
